I started a "Book Club" at my middle school's library. We meet once a week. After reading Neil Shusterman's "Speeding Bullet" together, we decided to make a short video book trailer. However, not enough people wanted to be in front of the camera. So, we decided to use action figures and our voices instead. The kids really seemed to enjoy it. Only took about an hour to plan, an hour to film, and an hour to edit. We posted it on YouTube and will link it to the school library site as well. Some of the kids already told their friends and they have watched it on YouTube and liked it. Great way to celebrate reading and inform others about books to promote reading. In the future, I look forward to using it to teach specific aspects of the reading too, such as conflict and theme.
Here is the video on YouTube:
